    Welcome! Where abouts in Reading are you from?!

     

    I am from Burghfield but work at Green Park so you may have seen me around!

     

    As for Madjeski Jap meets yes they are still on, I am the only 350z there though :(

     

    Small world, as I swear I see you almost every morning!

     

    I live in central Reading but work in Grazeley (when I am in the office that is), so I turn down Mereoak Lane which I assume is your route up to the A33 and Medejski.

     

    Give me a flash next time ( and please refrain from the inevitable puns fellow forum goers!)

     

    Yep that is my exact route! What colour is yours? Cant seem to recall seeing another Zed on my Journey in but ill keep my eyes peeled!

    I also work in green park! Definitely a small world.

     

    This is crazy, all the other cars i have owned all the forum members were miles away. What office are you in? I work for Symantec.

    Considering a Z from an EP3

    8k will get you a very decent 280 zed. Price wise you will pay for more for black/blue, it's the only car I have actually noticed this on.

     

    My friends got an EP3, we recently went to Le Mans in it. Was an absolute blast and the engine is awesome. He always says the Zed is more grown up and a nice place to be all the time where as he gets tired of the civic sometimes, especially on the motorway.

    Price

    What car says:

     

    Dealer - £8200

    Private - £8000

     

    Azure/Black go for it, any other colour stick to your original offer/walk away as you can find a cheaper one else where! :)

    Price

    If its an Azure/Black then i think the price is about right with renewed tax. If its any other colour its over priced by about a grand.

     

    Are the 18's Rays?

    I realise its a bit crap, but without a working remote I cant even turn the thing off so if I close the lid its just lit up anyway all the time

     

    Even with the remote you can't turn the screen off unfortunately. Useless design!

    Personally i wouldnt be touching a Zed thats between 4-5k.

     

    A clutch/flywheel change could cost you a quarter of the purchase price at that value.

     

    If i was in the market for a 2 seater sports car and had between 4-5k i would get an S2000.

     

    Once again the somewhat elitist view this forum has of the car rears its head ........... ;)

     

    First things first - its a fairly unstressed 3.5 litre N/A Nissan, not a turbocharged Maserati - theres absolutely no reason to be scared of 03/04 imports because they are 18 months older than an 06, likewise mileage over 100K shouldnt really put you off. Just do the usual checks and make sure theres nothing obvious thats wrong.

    The clutch is probably more likely to have been changed on a 100K car than a 50K one, if it hasnt the best way to see if its slipping is to put the car in 6th at lowish revs while moving (up a hill is ideal) and then floor it, if the revs rise out of sync with acceleration the clutch is slipping. :thumbdown:

     

    An S2K is a better car for 100% maximum attack driving, but in pretty much every other respects its inferior and in some its a totally different prospect, tbh thats pretty rubbish advice IMO, if you want a 350 then buy a 350. Funnily enough a clutch replacement is fairly similar in cost on an S2K too, imagine that ;)

     

    Do you believe buying a car right at the bottom end of the market is a good idea no matter what the car is?

     

    To give this some perspective, Cat C (Still damaged) 350z's sell for around the 4k mark so there has to be something odd going on if a "perfectly working" one sells for near that.

     

    The S2K comment was just my opinion of what i would be buying for that budget. As it would give you enough to be a bit more picky with which one you buy. Yes the S2k is an inferior car but its right in the middle of his budget and the chance of getting a lemon is a lot lower.

     

    Good luck to the OP with what ever he chooses to do :drive1

    Probably not what you want to hear but i dont want you buying a lemon :)

    Ex-U.K 350z - any gotchas?

    Welcome!

     

    Isnt the 06 coupe manual?! Or am i missing something.

     

    If you can afford to take some time off work i would come over to the UK and import one yourself. You will save around 2k on the car cost, obviously you will need to spend some coming over here and importing the car but 2k goes a long way!

     

    Good luck :)
